Horde was a rather forgettable villain.Jason Shayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12326506125878276176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-34334364469912226622013-08-16T05:45:59.325-04:002013-08-16T05:45:59.325-04:00I liked this comic.

I presume when he drinks beer as he is wont to do, he merely gets a mild relaxing buzz. The big problem with this issue is that the colours were very weak and vapid and detracted from Davis&#39; art. Horde was a very mediocre stereotyped villain.

The Annual after this one was drawn by Adams again but it was part of the Evolutionary War event and during the decline of the franchise in my book.William Robertsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05956754136414467979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-85149063252494839702013-08-15T08:28:18.983-04:002013-08-15T08:28:18.983-04:00You&#39;re more than welcome guys.

I like Havok, he&#39;s got a great mutant power, but Claremont always wrote him with too much of a chip on his shoulder. If Cyke was too brooding, Alex was the hothead bro out to prove he was a great Summers boy. Peter David seemed to grasp him as a hero a bit better in X-Factor. <br /><br />Still wish Alan Davis could&#39;ve gotten a good X-Men run between JRJR and Silvestri instead of bits parts.

It just doesn&#39;t work as well with Longshot, Dazzler, and Psylocke (though I have a pretty big softspot for Havok).Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15304178130464809737noreply@blogger.com
